After nearly a year as a PS5 console exclusive, Bethesda and Tango Gameworks have announced the paranormal action-adventure game Ghostwire: Tokyo will be launching on Xbox Series X and S in April. But that’s not all – in addition to the new platform, Ghostwire: Tokyo will be getting a substantial update, which will be main-evented by the new “The Spider’s Thread” mode – a challenging gauntlet that should be a serious test of your skills. In addition to that, Tango has also expanded the game’s world with some spookier, more strongly horror-themed areas, added new enemies, and more.

　　Here are more details on what to expect from the Ghostwire: Tokyo Spider’s Thread update…

　　New Spider’s Thread Game Mode - In addition to the main game, the Spider’s Thread game mode tasks players to navigate a 30-stage gauntlet selected from over 120 hand-crafted levels with one simple goal: get to the end. As players clear challenges and complete stages, they will unlock more skills and earn in-game currency to spend on upgrades.  Explore New Areas and Uncover More Story  - The Spider’s Thread update adds new locations to visit in the ghost-riddled streets of supernatural Tokyo, including the local Middle School area. These new locations come with new missions for players to take on and uncover more mysteries. The main game’s story will also feature extended cutscenes, granting players a deeper look into the plot as they play through Akito & KK’s adventure to stop the menacing Hannya from destroying Tokyo.Face New Enemies with New Skills  - Dangerous new Visitors arrive to Tokyo in the Spider’s Thread update, like the invisible Silent Gaze or elusive Retribution. To defeat these enemies, Akito will receive new skills including, Charge Rush and Counter Attack.Good to see Bethesda going all-in on giving Ghostwire: Tokyo a second chance, as it didn’t quite get the attention it deserved last year I think. Of course, now that the game is coming to Xbox, it will also be available on Game Pass, so the barrier to trying the game out has been lowered significantly.

　　Ghostwire: Tokyo can be played now on PC and PS5. The game launches on Xbox Series X/S alongside the Spider’s Thread update on April 12. What do you think? Interested in giving the game a try?
